About Gender Portraits

Gender Portraits is a nonprofit sponsored project of the Austin Creative Alliance that creates an artistic documentary series designed to stoke complex conversations around gender. The series consists of paintings and stories of transgender, intersex, and gender nonconforming people created by award winning transgender artist, Drew Riley, who aims to create the work that she wishes existed when she was growing up. Every art show, lecture, or interview that Gender Portraits participates in spreads affirming and relatable accounts trans and intersex people's experiences, humanizing them to the general public.

Gender Portraits also creates the Gender Unbound Art Fest. A yearly festival in Austin, TX that uplifts trans and intersex artists, musicians, performers, and film makers. Gender Unbound is organized by an entirely transgender team of organizers, assuring that the event is created by and for the community. The festival creates positive visibility of trans and intersex communities centered around their talents and pumps thousands of dollars into trans and intersex communities. Gender Unbound also provides community resources at the event like free HIV testing, voter registration, and info on trans and intersex social and support organizations.
